They are biodegradable, and you don't have the hassle/time of making pods (which is likely more than making a cone, which takes seconds), and no bag cleanup. I only use pastry bags (unlined, without pods) when using metal tips. I hate the bag cleanup, but making pods seems even more time-consuming.
Thanks for the reply, Julia! Your site and videos are amazing!

I are the cones something you need special supplies for or a special kind of cone? Or is any kind of parchment you can buy at a baking store fine? I ask because I am in South Africa and sometimes it isn't as easy to find the things that might be readily available everywhere else.
Thanks

Most any kind of parchment paper will do, though some have more silicone coating than others, so the paper holds up longer without getting wet. I use Reynolds brand, which is quite good for cones.
